Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012102617A1] A treatment of biomass comprises supplying biomass which contains an amount of moisture to a torrefaction system. The biomass containing moisture is heated to a torrefaction temperature in the torrefaction system. The biomass containing moisture is substantially completely dried by evaporating the moisture and the dried biomass torrefies at least partially to form torrefied biomass. The torrefaction system comprises a first treatment device and a second treatment device. The biomass is heated to the torrefaction temperature in the first treatment device within a first time period. The at least partially torrefied biomass is removed from the first treatment device after the first time period and the biomass which has been removed from the first treatment device is transferred to the second treatment device.
